Hey this is my first time making hard cider I have done about 8 five gallon batches of beer
I used
1 gallon apple cider unpasteurized
1 cup brown sugar
1 lb honey
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp yeast nutrients< learned that I needed this the hard way > had some rhino farts all better now
1/2 pack red star montrachet wine yeast
I simmerd 2 cups cider, brown sugar, honey and cinnamon to resolve ingredients cooled mixed it all in a 1 gallon glass jug
I added the yeast nutrients later and all is well with the farts..
I used a hydrometer and it came up with 1.083
Then I pitched the yeast gave it a shook and let it go on 10/21/2016
I'm planning on racking it this Friday
I want to know at which point should I bottle it? How long should I let it ferment? How many times I should rack it? And is there any good ideas on ways to make it carbonated?
Thank you for your time hope to hear back soon
